[quote=Monkeydad;817923]Look at his stats (that I posted above). His TDs were all RUNS, zero receiving TDs. :doh:


Also, if you've even watched a game with him in it, you would see he's an explosive back. I've been watching him for a few years (and owning him in fantasy leagues).

I don't know why you and other members work so hard to talk down EVERY acquisition this team makes.

Skins sign any one, the knee-jerk reaction is "oh, bad deal, he's a bad player, the team is making bad decisions again!"

Sure...cut Hightower and give Betts a call. Might as well bring Randel El back too...goodbye Gaffney.



It really is! :D

Reminds me of the famous Madden quote - ""Usually the team with the most points wins the game!"[/quote]

You can't win on this board sometimes. If it's a highly sought after FA we acquire, then we whine and complain that we overpaid for that player. If we go out and get a proven, solid talent like Tim Hightower. It's oh, he's no Adrian Peterson. This move doesn't make sense.

I like this part of the season where we all get to play armchair GM, compare stats, and talk a little trash. It's part of the deal. But come September we'll know who's the real deal and who deserves to be a Redskin. Right now I'm just enjoying the ride. God knows politics is crazy right now, so this a much needed distraction.

And people will still be clamoring for Marcus Mason and Chase Daniel.

We do need some tall wide receivers.

Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.
 

Do we have enough height at WR yet?

Kelly 6-4
Hankerson 6-2
Gaffney 6-2
Paul 6-1
Stallworth 6-0

3 of them will make the team too.

Hank, Gaff and either Kelly or Paul, depending on Kelly's health.

Hell Anthony should get into the Mix as well.

Maybe we need to get a 7-footer at wideout for people to be happy. LOL.

We still have a long way to go if we want to beat the Raiders in the summer hoops league. Gaither, Veldheer, maybe some Heyward-Bey at Point Guard.

Is the last sentence the words of Shanahan or those of the writer?
